Renee Zellweger and Cameron Diaz:
Best In Oscar Fashion 2008
The Oscars this year looked more like a funeral than a celebration of the years best in film. Perhaps this was due to the respect actors wanted to give the writers, the strike only recently being declared settled. Whatever the reason the dresses were a sea of black, red and white and considerably lacking in creativity. I counted only four other colors floating around the buzzing cameras and while black and red can be quite elegant the ensembles were, I’m sorry to say, boring. Most were fitted sheathes flowing to the ground with little or no detail and what looked like over sized corsages on the shoulders. With the amount of colorful designs on the way this Spring you would think the designers would have produced a more delightful array for the catwalk of everything Hollywood.
The one dress that saved the evening was a nineteen-forties inspired gown designed by the illustrious Carolina Herrera and worn by Renee Zellweger. Recalling dresses worn by sirens of the silver screen like Rita Hayworth and Betty Grable, Ms. Zellweger’s execution of the idea was one of flawless modern elegance. Her short haircut, the latest “it” style, frames her face perfectly and the side swept bangs make the look effortless and pretty. Note this look is accented only by fabulous bracelets, once again cultivating a breathtaking modern image.
Also worth mentioning is the ponytail, an Oscar favorite this year. Cameron Diaz carried this off wonderfully using beach waves and side swept bangs to add volume and texture to this classic fashion. This type of texture makes the ponytail look fresh and sophisticated, making this one of the best tools to spruce up your forthcoming Spring 2008 wardrobe.
